Imnortance of paner.

Paper is becoming am important article
TO all manufacturers. The latest thing is
the paper coffin. and it bids fair to take
the place of wood, being light, durable
and waterproof. The paper coffin can be
made for a few dollars, and, with the
proper veneering, is capable of beauti-
full finish in imitation of any costly wood.
All paper articles have the advantage of
cheapness, while they last about as long
as wooden wares. Manufacturers are
now making paper water buckets and
paper doors. These are very popular.
The doors are waterproof and will not
shrink or crack. For several years past
we have seen paper car wheels and paper
rowing boats. can say when the next
.innpration will be made, for only. the
other day I wiped my mouth on paper
napkin, and few hours later saw a
paper dress imported from Paris. The
clerk told me That French women of the
middle classes were stanch patrons of the
paper dress. 1t will not be long before
we shall be building paper houses, and for
half the money we now pay out for
homes. Professor e. Ell. Smith in Globe

chance to draw strength from the stock
which would otherwise be absorbed by
those which have already q good start.
About six tons of cane 60 to the planting
of an acre. One acre of seed cane will
plant three acres, and as the planting
must be done every third year, one-ninth
of the crop average of aplantation must
but be given up to seed cane. When the
seed cane is cut in the fall the stalks are
laid between the rows of stubble and
covered with a pillow run on each side.
After the canes are laid and cut, they
are covered with plows or with ma
chine called a rotary hoe, and the ground
is then rolled to press the dirt close 10 the
sprouting eyes, The first crop is called
plant cane. Next year the cane sprouts
from the stubble. and is called first
ratoons. The second year it sprouts
again. and is called second ratooiis. The
third year the stubble is plowed up aod

of the first ratoons. and Is of second
ratoons. On the upper coast. above
New Orleans, it is customary to let the
stubble ration but once. In Cuba it often
ratoons six successive years. but the cane
becomes constantly more woody and
poorer in saccharine matter.
In the stubble fields the first spring,
work consists in barring off, y or NOV
ing the dirt away from the roots of the
cane with plows and hoes, to permit the
light and air to hasten the terminating of
the ratoons. By the middle of April
there should be good stand of the
young sprouts. Then the dirt is worked
back toward the rows, and there is con-
slant cultivation with the pillow till after
the 1st of July, when the crop is s'laid
BY" No more work is done on it till the
cutting begins in September. Now the
cane is so high that man driving a mule
is lost to sight between the rows. Soon
it viii be tall enough to swallow up a
man on horseback. The rows are usual
| ly seven feet apart and always run paral-
lei with the ditches-that is, from the
river or bayou toward the swamp. July
and August was formerly the time for
cutting wood in the swamps to run the
sugar mill during the grinding season,
but now most plantations burn coal. The
crop being made, the planter feels
that he can relax his vigilance, and if he
has the means, he goes off to the north
with his family to escape the two hottest
months of the year in Louisiana and
build up his health in less enervating
climate. e. V. Smalley in The Century.

A very ingenious device is now gener-

frequent mistakes which occur at night
